Hi Jewel,

Even if you remove the entire subject and message body the fact you use "Reply 
To" means you are still replying inside thew thread that is going on. If you 
completely retype a new subject your message will be in the thread but it will 
have a different subject.

If you reply from an iOS device tapping on "Compose" to start a new message is 
the only way to not disrupt an on-going thread. As soon as you start typing the 
address iOS should remember it and after typing "Vi"  or "VIP" it should offer 
you the entire address. Another way to make this easier is if you set upa 
shortcut in Settings > General > Keyboard. You could type in the entire email 
address for the viphone group and abbreviate it with something like "VP" then 
all you have to do is type "VP" in the email "To" field and press the spacebar 
and it will expand this to the entire email address.


Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: Re: Thread hijacking

I apologise.  I thought that I had removed all traces of the KNFB post.
As I often do this,  to save myself the bother of typing the address for a new 
message, I do the reply to on an existing message to the list, and then remove 
all traces of it.
Apparently, on this occasion, I must have neglected to do this.
NOOne, in the past, has advised me that they have a problem with it.

Subject: Thread hijacking was Re: Word Ladder was KNFB Reader

Jewel,

I realize I'm not the moderator and I beg Mark's and Cara's forgiveness, but 
when you reply to another post and change the subject, you hijack the thread as 
you just did with this thread on the Knfb reader. Those of us who read email by 
threads as I do on my iPhone get messed up if we're following the thread you 
hijacked either because we're interested or we posted to it as I did. Even if 
you completely erase the thread history and totally replace the subject, the 
message is tagged in such a way that the posting history is still tied to the 
thread yet those following along by subject using a threaded email client will 
be out of luck since you've hijacked the subject.

If you can't remember the posting address of the list, please copy it from a 
message to which you are replying, cancel that message, start a brand new 
message, and paste the address you copied into the To field. Now you can type 
in your new subject since you'll be starting a new thread.

Thanks so much for not hijacking threads in the future.

Alan Lemly
